My views and thoughts on childhood..


                At the age of childhood, we are exposed to nothing.  Most of us also don’t remember those days, except that gave you happiness or was min blowing.  But if I would say myself also don’t even remember most of happiest events.  According to psychology, contradictory to this, what I said, there are those who has their saddest felling of their life.  This may lead to many situation , that determine their personalities.
                Some say it is the situation that makes a human or molds a human being. But more confidentially I would say, it is the relationship which has most of the effect on a human. Let me cite you a classic example. I don’t know whether I am telling the correct one or not. The example is…Let’s take a child, a kid! He is well at his subjects and is much interested in studies. If he enters to next level of his studies, say 1st standard, and say a new teacher comes to take a subject, say social science and if that teacher behaves in an odd way to students and makes their mind over loaded, a negative attitude towards that  person and as a result he will lose interest to that subject. I am very sorry to write this, but it is true . I have seen many students with the same problem. This ultimately gives us about an idea “Teacher the maker of best citizen.”
                During my school days, there was a discussion held on this topic. Those days we all used to argue to the topic citing examples of many famous writers, poets, and of the major was the childhood days of APJ Abdul Kalam and that inspired myself a lot. Some has a false concept about the word “teacher”. During that discussion one of my companion said that many great personalities haven’t gone to school and how come in those situations teachers molded them. It was his doubt. The fellow beings answered that whoever teaches you anything is considered as a teacher, whether young or elder fellow, animals or plants. In yoga, there is a pose called ‘Vrikshasan’ meaning tree pose. The main idea shared is that how tress withstand stressful condition and there standings. Here, trees teach us.
                Being a child forever is the favorable thing to a man. The reason is because when we are child, there are many to care us, keep us safe from physical and mental hurts. While reading this at least some of yours mind may lead to a thought about the tortured children, the slums. Of course! am up to it. The condition is extremely opposite to what I said just before of being a child but also cannot be rejected!! Even that child, except tortured children, feels that security and safeness that every child feels. That is the peculiarity of childhood. My heart pains when I see children working in hotels and shops to earn their living. If you have a computer and know to use internet and know to read and is reading this, you are richer that 75% of the world. Hmmm…. Yeah and so you and I , we can put our hands together to give them their best of the childhood memories…….
